    Abstract: A sphygmomanometer includes a storage unit that stores a measured blood pressure value. In a nighttime blood pressure measurement mode, blood pressure measurement is automatically started according to a schedule, and a blood pressure is measured when a blood pressure measuring cuff is in a pressurization process or a depressurization process. Further, it is determined whether or not a current blood pressure value measured is different from a past blood pressure value stored in the storage unit beyond an allowable range. When the current blood pressure value is different from the past blood pressure value beyond the allowable range, it is discriminated which phenomenon among a plurality of predetermined types of phenomena has occurred in the subject. A time of remeasurement with respect to a measurement time of the current blood pressure value is variably set according to which phenomenon among the plurality of types of phenomena has occurred.
